Knot OAT Turbulence 
Air Facts
MAY 5, 2025
Flying in the clouds in a single engine airplane when the OAT is below freezing is not a good idea! The general prognosis indicated no icing in the clouds, no turbulence and a quartering headwind from the west resulting in a mere five knots of headwind component. The OAT immediately shot up to +5 degrees C. We were free!

I configured the airplane the same way as noted on the Piper Climb chart: 105 mph (91 knots), flaps 10 ° , full throttle. Bad data caused by turbulence, turns, and other anomalies was discarded. Time To Fly Our aircraft can cruise for about 4 ½ hours plus an hour of reserve fuel at 130 knots. We did both!
